Discovering that a will has not considered you can be a stressful time. The trying experience of dealing with the death of a loved one is compounded when you feel you’ve been inadequately provided for in a will. This sometimes means that the decision to contest a will may take longer than is beneficial to your chances of success. The Will Challenge Lawyers can help you through this challenging time, offering advice and representation to get the process completed in time.
Is There a Time Limit in Disputing a Will?
There is a time limit during which you may contest a will and, while this varies according to where you are, it is typically one year. In New South Wales, where The Will Challenge Lawyers operates, the time limit in most cases is 12 months. We therefore recommend that you get in touch with us as soon as possible. The sooner we begin discussing your case, the faster we can assess and advise, giving you the best chance of success. Get in touch with us so that we can investigate and help you make your claim.
How Long Will the Whole Process Take?
While we understand that this can be an emotionally stressful time, it is our priority to dispute a will properly. Therefore, taking the time and measures needed to give you the greatest chance for success is imperative. The exact time length of the process will vary from one case to the next, however it is typically somewhere between 6 and 24 months.
